Re: corruptionVery easy buddy...Everybody turns a blind eye because they either benefit from it or simply don't care. Unfortunately those that benefit are mostly those that can do anything about it.
This new does not surprise me one bit. I'm sure if more digging it would be found that mostly all politicians are tied to corporations one way or another by means of cash flow. | |

Re: corruptionexactly, the poor people who this was supposed to help aren't going to able to launch investigations into corruption in government. As long as everyone gets their paycheck/kickbacks/bribes, nobody else asks questions. | |

AT&T in cahoots!! Say it ain't so!AT&T buying politicians? Please, tell me that it isn't true!! They would never do that! After all, the have such a pristine history of caring and selfless service to the American people!
They would never, ever do anything dishonest or disreputable, would they? | |

Idiot?"As for Marks, he insists he had no idea that ADE was 99% funded by AT&T despite serving on the organization's board."
Is this guy really that dumb? I would think if a large amount of grants/money goes to a particular company, I'd be a little curious.. That way it doesn't bite me in the ass later on. | |

What about the Feds?If an audit of ADE's books shows that it is spending $4 out of $5 on marketing, why the heck is the Federal Government giving it any money in first place? Do they just blindly do whatever the cheeseburglar Mayor of Tallahassee says to do? I am all for stringing up the Mayor, but where is federal governments responsibility to spend our money wisely? It just seems to me that at every level, there is absolutely no accountability. Everyone involved in this fiasco needs to have a nice jail cell to live in for a while, including the management of ATT and federal minions that approved this funding. | |

They're too busy worrying about next year's election and how to kick Obama out of office. They don't really give a sh*t about the economy. "spend our money wisely" Um.. You honestly expect them to do this? Look at their track record. "no accountability" Just how they like it. | |

Poetic justice at workI'm loving the poetic justice of the more AT&T is trying to get their propaganda pushed, the more they keep outing their own moles and inside people!
Hey AT&T, keep telling your "parrots" to speak up, it's working great! | |

Corruption in the US...And how does corruption in the US differ from corruption in Arab Spring countries, china, afghanistan, iraq?
Answer: In the US, corporations like ATT has more power than the governmental institutions...
Happy Friday!!!!! | |

Re: Corruption in the US...Corporations and things like the RIAA own the government institutions anyway. DOJ - has become an enforcement agency for the RIAA/MPAA
People don't care about corruption anyway. Are there any honest Congressmen? Of course not. Are there any honest elected politicians above the smallest local level? HAHA. Corruption is deeply rooted into the American political system anyway. For example, look at the Congressmen who signed a letter supporting the AT&T merger - every single one of them got a fair amount of money from AT&T. The only difference is that in the U.S. we don't call it bribery.
So the mayor is being paid under the counter by AT&T? The only unusual thing I see about it is that someone actually found out. What will happen? nothing. | |

EnablerStrange that everyone seems pre-occupied by the company involved and relatively quiet about this corrupt Mayor. ATT at fault? yes, but Mayor deserves to be run out of town. He is nothing but an enabler! | |
